Grab Your Suitcase For A Fantastical Adventure
Adventure is around every corner this Christmas at Theatre by the Lake as we journey with Larry and his very special suitcase to a wonderful world of possibilities in The Secret Life of Suitcases. Flying into the Studio between Tue 13 – Fri 23 December, this delightful children’s show for ages 4+ features exquisite puppetry, ingenious design and clever costumes that will captivate with its creative storytelling.
It features Larry, an industrious worker who just loves his brown office full of old fashioned stamps. He likes sorting and tidying and generally putting things in order and has no time for fun or break time until one day, a suitcase with his name on it suddenly appears at his door.
Unknown to Larry this special suitcase has a secret mission to turn his usual routine upside down and show him a side to life that he never knew possible. Setting off on adventures through the countryside, the high seas and finally in a rocket into outer space, Larry meets the mysterious suitcase dwellers, two brown furry quarks who tell him the real reason the suitcase arrived.
Described by The Scotsman as “Warm-hearted inventiveness that wins the rapt attention of its young audiences”, this performance is brought to life by skilled Scottish puppeteer Ailie Cohen and actor Samuel Jameson. Together they manage to both entertain and educate young and old members of the audience alike with their quirky craft and artistry.
The show, which has won several four star plaudits from the likes of The Stage, The Herald and The Edinburgh Guide, was originally co-produced by the Unicorn Theatre in London and written by popular Glasgow-based Playwright and Theatre Maker, Lewis Hetherington.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see this colourful, inventive tale of discovery, which proves that anyone who makes time for adventure and confronts their fears can make their life a better place. It’s a perfect Christmas story. Tickets are £10 each; a family ticket (4 people) £32.
